What To Do For Feeling Something Is Stuck In Throat Only During Nights?

It feels like something small is stuck in my throat. It only happens at night, never during the day, and I am not always laying down. The next morning it is gone. It started about 2 weeks ago and now it is every evening. There is no pain with it; only a strong annoying feeling that now I can t sleep.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
There a number of different causes of the sensation of a lump stuck in your throat.Most common causes are
1.Chronic sinus drainage or nasal allergies will often cause dripping of mucus down
the back of the throat and can feel like a "lump" in the back of the throat. 2.Inflammation of the tonsils can cause this sensation.
3.Heartburn or acid reflux.
I do suggest that you go to see your doctor to talk about this issue and your doctor can perform a complete examination and help you figure out what might be going on.
Thank you.
